Monday Morning Diversion: Against Me! Scream 'Black Me Out'

By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on Mar 17, 2014 4:15PM

Hearing Against Me!'s "Black Me Out" for the first time live was one of our personal highlights of Riot fest 2013. It's a towering and powerful anthem and displays a band that is operating at the height of its powers on their latest album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues. This is even more impressive since the heights they're capable of keep growing ever taller. The band, led by the now-Chicago-based Laura Jane Grace, have released an arresting video for the song and it's just as powerful, if in a different way than we would have imagined.
